Gardening update!

So I’ve been mainly posting my last updates in the Melbourne DT, but I’m going to start posting here instead.

I started growing herbs on the 20th of sept, starting with Basil, thyme, oregano and parsley (in 1 box) + mint in its own box and rosemary also in its own box

My last update was 2 months ago on Oct 8 when it was looking like this

Today I decided that the herbs were going well enough that I want to try my hand at growing strawberries

The main herbs box is basically a jungle now. I feel like I need to trim things back, but I can’t actually eat any of it as fast as it grows, so I’ve just been leaving it there so I can keep picking away at it a few times a week when I pick stuff

I almost killed the mint from a combination of watering it too much, then freaking out and not watering it enough (god I’m hopeless)

The rosemary is just chilling. We haven’t picked any of it yet, but it’s slowly growing and has sprouted new stems (?)

And the strawberries, they’re so cute. Don’t judge the number of them, I really like strawberries…

On the advice of a Bunnings man, we grabbed a bird net thing so they don’t steal my fruit, but it was intended for covering a ground planting, so I have to return it and change it over to one that’s designed for planters

Also, one of the roomies is super into gardening too, and he’s got some tomato’s growing, and they are SO CUTE
